My daughter is in love with her sunhat that her aunt bought her. I've had a lot of cotton yarn sitting around, so I decided to try a sunhat. :) Well, she loves it. So now I'm offering the pattern to you for free! Yay for more free patterns!

This hat fits my 3 year old. Message me if you need help adjusting the size.

I've had this pair of flip-flops laying around for probably 4 years. They have only been worn once because the straps are so uncomfortable. Then I had a total light bulb moment... why don't I crochet around the straps to make them more comfortable? Duh!

So I grabbed some light blue worsted weight yarn and an H hook.

Step 1: Knot the yarn around the strap.

Step 2: Put the hook through the loop. Yarn over and pull up a loop.

Step 3: Single crochet (SC) around the strap.

*Place hook under the strap. Yarn over, pull yarn to the front of strap.

Yarn over, pull through.

Repeat to tightly fill the strap. I did 40 SC.

Step 4: SC2tog on each side of the strap.

*Place hook under right side of strap, yarn over, and pull up a loop.

Place hook under left side of strap, yarn over, and pull up a loop.

Yarn over and pull through all loops.

Step 5: Single crochet (SC) around the strap.

*Place hook under the strap. Yarn over, pull yarn to the front of strap.

Yarn over, pull through.

Repeat to tightly fill the strap. I did 40 SC. Fasten off.

Step 6: Place hook through 2 loops in the front of the sandal. Pull a slip knot through. Turn.

Step 7: Single crochet (SC) around the strap.

*Place hook under the strap. Yarn over, pull yarn to the front of strap.

Yarn over, pull through.

Repeat to tightly fill the strap. I did 10 SC. Fasten off.

To add even more accenting, I wanted to have a flower. So for this you'll either want to sew the flower directly on or use a button to fasten it on with. I chose to do the button.

The final product is so comfortable and I don't know why I didn't think of this before. I have poison right now, so I won't dread you with those photos. I'll update with a real photo when I'm healed up. :)

I have been in need for some new dishcloths again, but didn't want to just do any old pattern. I wasn't finding anything I really wanted to make. I wanted it to be solid to work as a potholder if I needed too, but I wanted something with some texture too.
